This invention relates to billet-guides for machines for rolling wire rods and the like;

and it consists in the improved construction of the same, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings hereto annexed, A A represent the rolls in connection with which my improved billet-guideisused. Thelatter consists of two separate parts, B and U. The part B is a tubular metal guide consisting preferably of two plates or sections, D D, placed together as shown, and having abore, E, which may be oval, square, or ofany suitable shape. The front ends of the sections D should be shaped so as to fit nicely between the rolls.

(No model.)

The part 0 is a tubular tapering guide, which may be made in a single piece, and having an opening at its front end of sufficient capacity to receive the rear ends or shanks, F, of the plates D, composing the part B, which are clamped and held securely in position by a set-screw, G. The bore 11 of the guide C tapers to the opening I at the rear end, which.

is to be of a shape corresponding to that of the bore of part B i. 6., square, oval, or otherwise, as the case may be.

It will be observed that the part 0 may be turned and adjusted to any desired position in relation to the part B, thus causing the billet to be delivered from the rolls straight or r at any desired angle without the employment of a twist-guide.

I claim as my invcntion The combination, with the tubular guide B,

in one or more sections, of the tubular guide
